Opera North Update
By Dawn Smallwood
It comes as no surprise that the majority of theatre productions nationwide have been cancelled or postponed including those by Opera North. A Little Night Music, a joint production with Leeds Playhouse, was due to begin its rehearsals this month and to open at the Playhouse in May.
Opera North however hopes the 2020/21 season can go ahead as planned in the autumn. In the meantime Opera North are sharing opera with people online and these include the following:
· Trouble in Tahiti is available via NowTV and Sky on-demand services. · The Ring Circle (full version) is available via the website. · The Turn of the Screw which was recently live streamed is available via Opera Vision.
Updated information about the cancelled shows and events can be found on the website. Opera North conveys their best wishes at this uncertain and challenging time. They look forward to returning with an incredible range of productions they take pride in.
